Jiang Ming followed the road index given by Chang An, and walked all the way to the residential area of Xiaoyongcheng, where the living conditions were also like the residence of the godfather and godmother of the butterfly before, in a crowded space close to each other, the complex smell of rotten vegetables and swill was also similar and disgusting, but with the calm old man at the door, everything seemed much calmer.

Kind of Xiongyi, Yangtafeng's personal soldiers, was driven to the city as a city soldier a long time ago, and then worked with Yangtafeng for fifteen years, suffered many injuries, and also saved Yangtafeng's life in several dangerous missions, which can be regarded as a five-stage person, kind and optimistic, but quite stubborn to himself.

This information was very clearly described in the information passed to him by Yang Ta Feng, but Jiang Ming didn't care about it, even if Yang Ta Feng had met with Shen Yi Wei before, he would not hesitate to break into the City Lord's Mansion at this time, put Fang Yuan's halberd on his neck and ask what happened. But this Yang Xiongyan is just an ordinary person after all, nearly sixty years old, but he still has to struggle for a living, which is quite hard.

Jiang Ming slowly approached, Yang Xiongyan also raised his head at this time, and the two looked at each other, the latter had a kind of coldness in his eyes, and Jiang Ming's eyes were just anxious. The stench in the alley blew with a breeze again, Jiang Ming's face bounced a wrinkle, and Yang Xiong's face also had many wrinkles, they were indeed many years apart.

Yang Xiong smiled and said: "I can feel the murderous aura on your body, I have followed the Sheep Tower Wind City Lord for several years, although my martial arts cultivation has not improved much, but my ability to see people and things has increased a lot." I have seen the high-level martial artist next to the city lord before, he is not as deterrent as you, this is enough to prove that you are stronger than him, you can reach the level of seven or even eight ranks at this age, I have to say, the young people now are extremely powerful. ”

Jiang Ming's expression was not moved in the slightest, he tore the cloth shirt outside, revealing the linen robe he often wore inside, he said: "I have something I want to ask the old gentleman, this matter is very important, I hope the old gentleman can give advice and tell the truth, if I find out that what the old gentleman said is true, I will definitely report it to the old gentleman." ”

Yang Xiong raised his head and laughed, he stood up, shook the dust on his body, and said with a sharp gaze: "You are a mountain bandit from Wohua Mountain, I can smell the smell of your black sheep, not to mention that I am no longer the personal soldier of the Yangta Wind City Lord now, even if I really know what secrets in the army, it is impossible to reveal it to a person like you, even if you are an eighth-stage person, even if you really kill me, I will not betray the Yangta Wind City Lord." ”

Jiang Ming closed his eyes slightly, as if he was impatient, and said: "Old man, it is true that I am a person from Wohua Mountain, but I have never done anything that hurts the heavens and reason, please believe that the original intention of Wohua Mountain is also to give the people a peaceful and stable living environment." Moreover, today I am not pressuring the old gentleman about military things, but ......"

Yang Xiong said worriedly: "Is it looking for my old man to push Pai Gow? You can afford me, except for following the Yangta Wind City Lord for more than ten years, I have never been in contact with other important things, so that people like you can look at it, I can't think of any other aspects that can make you worry." What's more, I hate you people to the core, if it weren't for you, how could I be conscripted into the city soldiers, and I didn't even see the last side of my old parents, just this, I want to eat the flesh and blood of you mountain bandits!"

From the perspective of ordinary people, Wohua Mountain is indeed a larger mountain bandit group, they do not have any special place, killing, arson, looting, and making trouble, all kinds of evil things should have been done, and there is no difference compared to other mountain bandits. This is also the real reason why the people dislike Wohua Mountain, even if some people have heard that Wohua Mountain's policy is Qingming, comparable to the rule of the Qin Dynasty, but they have never really seen it, because how can the people living in the Wohua Mountain area give up their superior and comfortable living environment and come to other places where they may not even have enough to eat to spread this idea? But even if it is excusable, Jiang Ming at this time has no patience.

Jiang Ming walked down, only to see a puff of smoke and dust flying away, Jiang Ming had already come to Yang Xiongyan's side, grabbed Yang Xiongyan's neck with one hand, and said: "I don't have the heart to talk to you about this, whether Wohua Mountain is good or bad needs your eyes to really see, instead of listening to my blind narration, I really have something urgent to ask you now, the night ...... three days ago"

"Phew!" Yang Xiong's body was subdued, but he spit on Jiang Ming's face with a mouthful, Jiang Ming didn't react, so he didn't have time to hide, only to see Yang Xiong smile and say: "Sure enough, it's a high-level martial artist, but my old man is not afraid of you, I am the personal soldier of the Lord of Yangta Wind City, I have survived many life-and-death fights in the past ten years, I don't know how many hardships and dangers, how can I ever be afraid!" You little doll, if the old man and I had become a parent, and the current children are ten years older than you, they would have either been killed, or I would have dueled with you in a dignified manner!"

Jiang Ming was not annoyed by the old man's spit, what he was angry about was that Yang Xiong had been misunderstanding and leaving his business behind, which made him extremely anxious, he couldn't bear Shen Yi's disappearance in his hands for such a useless growth time, he raised his fist and smashed it out.

"Bang!"

Yang Xiongyan's body was smashed into the room with a punch, and Jiang Ming's mind actually rippled with huge lines, is that because this Yang Xiongxuan is just a retired veteran who put down his weapon?

Throwing a fist at a person who only has an ordinary life, his heart is a little unbearable. But his punch was full force.

Jiang Ming stood at the door and said, "Sir, what I want to ask is, did you see ...... in the night three days ago?"

No one answered him, all that answered him was a broken crockpot, Jiang Ming easily dodged, but saw Yang Xiongyan rushing out with a kitchen knife, Jiang Ming swallowed what he was about to say, and as soon as his body was deviated, he waved his hand to hit the kitchen knife in Yang Xiong's hand more, and broke the old man's wrist without any restraint. Yang Xiong clenched his front teeth that were about to fall out, and his other fist smashed towards Jiang Ming, Jiang Ming was furious in his heart, and a back fall threw the old man to the ground.

Jiang Ming exhaled heavily, and said: "Can you listen to me, I'm not here to kill you, nor am I here to ask you for any information in the army, I came only for a missing woman, he came to Xiaoyong three days ago on the night, if you have seen it, I ask you to give me news, I will definitely report back to the old man." ”

Yang Xiong struggled on the ground a few times, his ears that were not very sensitive were smashed to the ground by Jiang Ming's previous back fall, and there was blood flowing from his cochlea, he didn't hear anything, he staggered to his feet, his already thin body seemed to be blown away by a gust of wind, but he smiled and said, "I, Yang Xiongyu, have never had the idea of betrayal." If you mountain bandits can do good, if you can save the four cities of Jiaozhi City, one large, three and small, I will believe your nonsense. However, now there is a Sheep Tower Wind City Lord in Jiaozhi City, he is enough to lead the people to a better life, I know very well that you are the obstacle in the way, let me clean you up today!"

I saw Yang Xiongyu rushing towards Jiang Ming again, he knew that it was almost impossible for him to touch the corners of Jiang Ming's robe with his current combat strength, but he still clenched his fists, if there was a next life, he still chose to be a personal soldier for Yang Tafeng, because Yang Tafeng once said that he lived for this Jiaozhi. It's the same with him, a retired and incompetent veteran, who would rather die than let any wicked person break the peace of Jiaozhi.

Jiang Ming's spirit suddenly fell into a trance at this time, but his fist had already swung out, and it hit the old man's head, and with a muffled sound, Yang Xiong's body slowly collapsed to the ground. Jiang Ming went over to probe the old man's snort in a distracted manner, he suddenly felt a chill in his heart, he seemed to realize now that what he had killed was just an old man who had retired and become an ordinary person.

"Why? Don't tell me what I'm doing wrong?"

Jiang Ming was stunned in place, like a child who had done something wrong, but this crime could not be taken away for the rest of his life, his heart was still anxious, still worried, still hesitant, but there was more regret. It seems that killing this old man at this time, his heart for practicing martial arts is much colder, and he is no longer as firm as he was at the beginning.

In Jiang Ming's spiritual space, a burst of smoke drifted by, and the remnant soul of Yequan, who had been sleeping for many days, stood in front of Jiang Ming again, at this time Jiang Ming's spirit knelt in front of Yequan, his eyes were empty, he didn't have any words, like a walking corpse.

The actual image of Yequan did not appear, only a vague shadow appeared, but his momentum was very majestic, as if he was about to devour Jiang Ming. Yequan Hongsheng asked, "Do you think you're doing the right thing?"

Jiang Ming said: "In order to find Yi Wei, I can't calm down, his breath disappeared, and I realized that I killed someone, and I don't know if it's right or wrong." ”

Yequan said: "Your emotions are very strong, this is the place where you can make people look at, and it is also the place where you are deadly, but if you can't grasp it, you will really fall into the devil." ”

This is the second time Jiang Ming has heard this word, not to fall into the Demon Sect, but to lose his Dao heart on the martial path and lose his ability to control himself. The first time was said by the scholar Wen Yaliang, when he got six volumes of Yun frames containing peerless exercises, and saw that Wen Yaliang moved to kill, but quickly suppressed this kind of thought. But this time, he really killed someone.

Jiang Ming said: "I'm not wrong, if something happens to Yi Wei, it doesn't matter if I fall into the devil, as long as I can get him back, any price is worth it." ”

Yequan sighed lightly and said, "People in the world decide life and death for love, and they are often burdened by love, and you don't seem to be able to escape." Killing people today, you have already killed, you have no way to change it, but if there is a next time, I will take action to break all your meridians, so as to prevent you from losing yourself and becoming a walking corpse who only knows how to kill and bloodthirsty. ”

Jiang Ming bowed deeply, he knew that Yequan was helping him, he could only be grateful, and said, "Senior Yequan, thank you." ”

A breeze suddenly blew through Jiang Ming's spiritual space, and the remnant soul image of Yequan was shattered by this impact, Jiang Ming asked eagerly: "Senior Yequan, what kind of wind is that? Are you okay?"

After a long time, in the boundless darkness, a weak voice slowly came: "I'm fine, that gust of wind was sent out of your body by using the power of creation, but the Yuan Knot in it is complicated, and the Yuan Qi wrapped in it has an impact on my remnant soul, so it has caused the shattering of my remnant soul image." ”

Jiang Ming was stunned for a moment and asked, "Senior Yequan, your remnant soul is so weak, why do you still use the Yuan Potential?"

Yequan sighed lightly and said, "I probed, that woman fell into an extremely mysterious space, leaving clues that no one could see, if I didn't exert the power of creation again, I am afraid."

I can't find it. ”

Jiang Ming hurriedly asked, "Then where is she now?"

Yequan said: "That space is very mysterious, it seems to change the operation of the law of time, this kind of means of the heavenly realm is not something that ordinary people can use. I could feel the slight fluctuations in that energy, but just sensing it expelled me, and I couldn't delve any further. But what is certain is that I found the woman's breath, and after using the forbidden art to pursue it, her life is not in danger. ”

Jiang Ming's mind suddenly boomed, and he hurriedly asked, "Senior Yequan, can you be more specific, I don't know anything about that space, since Yi is worried that his life is not in danger, then where can I find her?"

Yequan sighed: "With the only strength I have now, it is not easy to explore these, that space should be created by ancient powers, and it is very similar to the space of the entire Sanyuan and Nine Fields, I can't guess what kind of person is in charge." As for the woman, you can rest assured that her aura is now wandering in the turbulence of time, and no one can influence her to return to the real world, but there is a huge error in time, and you must wait in one hundred and three days to go north to the Cangya Mountains. ”

Jiang Ming listened like a rough and vague question, and he should have asked some questions that he didn't understand, but he heard Yequan's weakness and said: "I know about Yiwu, I don't know how you are doing now, Senior Yequan? Last time, you told me that for the condensation of your remnant soul, you will not use Yuanshi to help me again, but this time you seem to have consumed a lot." ”

Yequan smiled and said, "Helping you is also helping myself." I have indeed used great strength in this exploration, and the impact on my remnant soul is also extremely huge, after sleeping today, within five hundred days, you will use Jade Ruyi to help me condense the remnant soul. ”

Jiang Ming was shocked in his heart, but there was nothing to refuse, although the process was extremely painful, but he had never regretted it since he chose that path. What's more, Yequan has consumed so much for his own business this time, and he should bear this suffering.

Yequan sighed and said, "Those who are long-term lovers are the most difficult. The sound melted into the fog, and the night spring fell into a deep sleep again, wondering if the next time he woke up, he would be able to see the nettle.

Jiang Ming's spirit returned, even if he didn't ask for any news from Yang Xiong's mouth, and he also killed the old man, but the good thing was that he got Shen Yiwu's whereabouts from Yequan's help, which was already worth it. He looked at the old man lying in the dust, and his heart began to pity and regret, he finally admitted that he had done something wrong, but this time there was no way to repent.

Jiang Ming was planning to take the old man to a remote place for burial, but at this time, the sister-in-law Liu and his wife, who were neighbors, came back with tofu, and the sister-in-law Liu said resentfully: "I don't know what is going on in the city today, the investigation is so strict, we ordinary people don't live at all, we don't let us sell tofu, what do we take to support our families!"

When Liu's sister-in-law was scolding, she suddenly caught a glimpse of the old and weak body of her neighbor Yang Xiong lying on the ground, and beside him stood a young man with cold eyes, the young man's hands were stained with blood, a kitchen knife was thrown on the ground, and the dust stained red by the blood that Yang Xiong had flowed out. Sister-in-law Liu was shocked, stunned in place for a long time, and shouted loudly: "Murder, murder!"

Before Jiang Ming had time to explain and organize, the two couples ran to deliver the news to each family, Jiang Ming also sighed lightly, looked at the dead Yang Xiong and said, "It seems that there is no way to help you settle down." Today's events, I will carry my sins for the rest of my life, and I hope that the old gentleman can vote for a good family and live a good life in the next life. ”

After Jiang Ming finished speaking, he stepped on the eaves of the house and quickly escaped from this area, although those people also began to gather, but no one could stop him. After a while, he came to the agreed meeting place, and Lin Han, Chu Hong, and Huanziyu were already waiting.

Lin Han said: "We all heard clearly, Shen Yiwu was strolling on the street that night, and was seen by the son of the grain horse and the main bookkeeper, so he wanted to bully Shen Yiwei, but fortunately, a retired veteran helped and drove away the two, and the veteran should be Yang Xiongxuan." Did you find the same message?"

Jiang Ming was stunned, it turned out that Yang Xiongyu had helped Shen Yiwu, but he didn't know the situation, but he just fell into his emotions and killed him indiscriminately, which made him blame himself again and again. He smiled miserably and said, "It's pretty much the same." ”

Lin Han asked: "We have used means to interrogate those two gentlemen, but we have not gotten any news about where Shen Yiwei went, through the comparison of the information I got with Chu Hong, we have confirmed the accuracy of the news, so have you gotten the news of Shen Yiwei from Yang Xiongyan?"

Jiang Ming said: "I didn't get any news from Yang Xiongxuan, but I already know where Yi Wei is through some means, and it is not in Jiaozhi City and Xiaoyong City, so we don't have to waste time again, and I will tell you when we wait for the military camp." ”

Lin Han paused slightly, he found the abnormality in Jiang Ming's mood, and found the news of where Shen Yi was worried, his mood was not surprise or eagerness, but a miserable state, which surprised him.

Huanziyu said: "We moved the grain and horses and the son of the master bookkeeper, although there is no killer, but it has already alarmed the city guards, now let's hurry up and find a way to get out of the city!"
